Roll credits, Blockbuster closing last Dayton location

A Blockbuster store in Englewood is closing, which will mark the end of the video chain's Dayton presence.

The movie and game rental store at 603 Taywood Road is closing and is holding a going out of business sale starting Friday, an employee at the store confirmed.

The Englewood location is the last Blockbuster location open in the Dayton region. Competitor Family Video still has 12 stores open in the Dayton region, and residents can also rent most recent movies from dozens of Redbox kiosks in the region.

The store will stay open until all the merchandise has been sold, the employee said.

The building is owned by B F Hill Investments LLC, according to Montgomery County property records. The store occupies a 5,000-square-foot free-standing building, according to a Loopnet.com listing.
